Back to Saturn

Yesterday I watched on Youtube Pink Floyd - Echoes / Live at Pompeii (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGwPSPIhohk) which evoked for me the summit of progressive and psychedelic music incarnated by this fabulous rock band and at the same time the golden age of a short, but revolutionary period pushing the earth with an incredibly new élan to a better futur. Alas, times have changed and the spiritual endeavour quickly gave way again to intolerance, indifference and selfishness. All these elements inspired me to make a new stuff.

I wonder if you have tiny, glinting
satellites orbiting your head as you go about your day. Whether this is music from beyond or from within it is music that is wild, free and transcendent. Always an exhilarating experience. Aren't we lucky that you share? Thank you.

Harald - like from a pro soundtrack of a science-fiction movie - epic stuff full of energy - love the huge soundwalls and the very well crafted mix paired with enormous creativity and amazing musicianship.

Absolutely loved and enjoyed the journey, which also contained some surprising moments. That made the ride so thrilling.

Thoughtful.
Your soundscapes are always so well-conceived, everything in its place and having a purpose. You always seem to choose the correct percussion, solo, pad, or whatever you have your hands on ... and you place these elements in specific places in your scenes. Quite a master of the epic soundscape you have become. This is brilliant work, much like everything you create.

My headphones are of poor quality.
But don't worry, I have great speakers and a decent amp, so it sounded huge anyway. How you make these enormous soundscapes so consistently I don't know, but it's inspiring to listen to. I'm gong to fire up some of my soft-synths later in the day and have a play and see what comes out. See what you've done? LOL.
